The FY11 Amendment proposes to use
$1,205,000 in anticipated CDBG program

rental housing projects.
Copies of the FY11 Annual Action Plan
Amendment are available from the
Department of Planning and Community

Re: Resolution Adopting the FY11 Annual Action Plan Amendment #3
A public hearing and resolution considering approval of the FY11 Annual Action Plan
Amendment #3 will be held at your April 19, 2011 City Council meeting. The Amendment
allocates CDBG funds to be received from anticipated program income from a CDBG Disaster
Recovery project. Aniston Village LP, a Low Income Housing Tax Credit Project, in Iowa City
was awarded $2.9 million in Iowa CDBG Disaster Recovery Housing Funds through the Iowa
Department of Economic Development to finance the construction of 22 homes for affordable
rental housing. When Aniston Village LP secures permanent financing this spring, a portion of
the construction loan ($2.7 million) will be repaid to the City and receipted as program income to
be used in the City's regular CDBG entitlement program.
The City conducted amid-year allocation round to allocate up to $2.6 million to CDBG eligible
activities. Fifteen applications for public facilities and ten applications for housing activities were
submitted. The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) reviewed these
proposals on November 10 & 18, 2010. HCDC recommended the funding of six public facility
projects for a total of $1,395,000 and three housing activities for $1,205,000. City Council
approved the public facility projects in January 2011, but did not approve the housing projects at
that time because the Affordable Housing Location Model had not been approved.
A draft copy of the FY11 Annual Action Plan Amendment #3 is attached. You can also find this
amendment at www.icgov.org/actionplan. Page 2 of the Amendment identifies the projects and
there is a memo from HCDC beginning on page 9 that explains their rationale for funding. If
needed, amendments or changes fo this plan may be considered at the April 19, 2011 meeting.
At the time of allocation, Community Development staff recommended financial terms and
compliance periods for Isis Investments LLC and Shelter House. HCDC directed staff to
negotiate financial terms with Southgate Development for the Wetherby Condominium project.
Staff met with Southgate Development to review their project costs, rental proforma and to
discuss financial terms. Staff recommends that the funds be awarded to rehabilitate at least 45
of the units for affordable rental housing and that $300,000 be awarded as a grant due to the
cost of exterior security improvements and general exterior upgrades that benefit the entire
area. Staff also recommends that the remaining $600,000 be awarded in the form of a loan with
the following terms:
Interest rate during the construction period at 0%.
Interest rate during the period starting at month 1 (following the construction period) and
ending at month 60 at 0%.
Interest rate payable during the period starting at month 61 and ending at month 120 at
3%.
The loan will mature and be paid in full on the earlier of (i) the end of the 120 month period
or (ii) upon sale. The payment at maturity will be equal to the greater of (i) 10% of the fair
market value as determined by appraisal or (ii) 10% of the net sales price. This payment will be
capped at $888,000, based on $600,000 loan amount increasing at a compounded rate of 4%
April 13, 2011
Page 2
per year and repayment of the 10-year maturity. A sale of the property at the end of year five,
for example, would cap the City's repayment at $730,000.
The recommended compliance period for this project is 5 years. The compliance period will be
released (and the loan paid in full) if the property is sold to a third party prior to the end of 5
years.
At your April 19 meeting, we are asking that you consider approval of the FY11 Annual Action
Plan Amendment #3 as recommended by HCDC. To date, the City has received no written
comments from the public concerning the FY11 Annual Action Plan Amendment.
If you have any questions about the Amendment or the proposed projects please feel free to
contact Steve Long or Tracy Hightshoe at 356-5230 or steve-long@iowa-city.org or at tracy-
hightshoe@iowa-city.org.

Substantial Amendment #3
FY11 Annual Action Plan Amendment:
Aniston Village, LP, a Low Income Housing Tax Credit Project, in Iowa City was awarded
$2.9 million in Iowa CDBG Disaster Recovery Housing Funds through the Iowa Department
of Economic Development to finance the construction of 22 homes for affordable rental
housing. When Aniston Village LP secures permanent financing, a portion of the
construction loan ($2.7 million) will be repaid to the City and receipted as program income
to be used in the City's regular CDBG entitlement program. The City's agreement with
Aniston Village, LP requires repayment of the construction loan to be made by May 1,
2011.
On September 20, 2010 the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC)
solicited applications to be funded with the repayment of the Aniston Village loan. Twelve
applications for housing activities were submitted. HCDC reviewed these proposals on
November 10th and November 18th, 2010. On November 18, 2010 HCDC recommended
funding three housing projects for a total of $1,205,000. The commission recommended six
public facility and one public service activity under Amendment #2. The housing projects did
not proceed at the same time since the City Council had not approved a site location model for
City-assisted housing. Council approved this model on February 15, 2011. The housing
applications selected and recommended funding amounts were:
Isis Investments LLC Rental Housing - Acq & Rehab $230,000
Shelter House Rental Rehabilitation $75,000

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 30, 2010
TO: City Council
FROM: Housing and Community Development Commission
RE: Recommendations for FY11 CDBG Special Allocation Funding
I. General Comments
II. CDBG Housing projects recommended for funding
III. CDBG public facilities recommended for funding
I. Commissioners felt that this funding process was an exceptionally unique opportunity and
started the process with the general focus of trying to make a big impact as opposed to spreading
smaller amounts of funding into a greater number of projects. There were many good applicants,
several of whom applied and received substantial funding in the last regular funding cycle.
Commissioners felt that some of the unfunded applications were projects that the commission would
have the opportunity to recommend funding in future funding cycles.
Applications that were especially innovative or targeted on Council priorities got special
consideration. For example revitalizing the Towncrest and Broadway neighborhoods got special
consideration. Consideration was also given to the number of projects City Staff could effectively
manage. Below are the requests and the recommended allocations with brief explanations of the
commissions rationale for funding.

Iowa River Trail -Napoleon to Trueblood Project -April 19,
May 17
This phase of the Iowa River Trail project will construct a trail connection along the east
side of the Iowa River from Napoleon Park to the Teny Trueblood Recreation Area.
Shive-Hattery, Inc. was hired to design the project, final plans and specs were delivered
in April 2011, and the public hearing was set on April 5, 2011.
The Iowa River Trail currently terminates on the south end at Napoleon Park.
Considering existing and planned developments at the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area,
there is a desire to extend the existing Iowa River Trail system to connect to the Terry
Trueblood Recreation Area. As part of the design for the McCollister Boulevard Bridge
over the Iowa River, an underpass was incorporated on the east side of the Iowa River
for this trail. A portion of the proposed trail will also utilize the existing Napoleon Lane
gravel roadbed. In addition, the proposed trail has been designed to accommodate the
future location of the animal shelter.
An alignment was selected that takes advantage of the existing features within the
project area. The proposed trail will follow the existing ridge on the north end of the
project, behind the existing pump station. The trail then transitions to the existing gravel
roadbed and continues under McCollister Boulevard Bridge. As part of the project, the
proposed trail will tie into the existing sidewalks on the north and south sides of
McCollister Boulevard, as well as the existing trail network at the Terry Trueblood
Recreation Area. A small river lookout area is also provided as part of the project.
Staff recommends proceeding with the following schedule for this project:
April 19 -Hold public hearing
May 17 -Award project to contractor
June 1 thru September 1 -Construction

Re: Filing of Application for IDOT & FTA funding for April 19`h Council Meeting
Introduction: Included for the April 19, 2011 City Council Meeting you will find the Item &
Comment, Resolution, and supporting Memorandum for the Public Hearing for filing an
application with IDOT and the Federal Transit Administration for FY2012 funding.
History/background: This application is filed annually in order to provide a list of projects that
we wish to receive State and/or Federal Transit assistance. The memorandum details the
projects that we will be seeking funding, totaling $18,853,050 in Federal Capital Assistance and
$1,369,907 in Federal Operating Assistance. There is no guarantee of funding, however, in
order to be considered for funding, the project must be listed in the application.
The list of projects includes funding requests for transit service, vehicles, equipment and
facilities. The most substantial funding request is for the replacement of the Transit facility
estimated at $20,000,000, of which $16,000,000 would be Federal funds. In addition, this list of
projects will be included in the FY2012 IDOT Consolidated Transit Funding Application and in
the FY2012 - 2015 MPOJC Transportation Improvement Program.
Discussion of Solution: In reviewing the list of projects, keep in mind that we may not seek
funding for all of the projects listed in this proposal. The majority of the capital funding
opportunities are funded as 80% Federal and 20% Local, excluding rolling stock which is funded
with 83% Federal funds and 17% Local funds. Operating expenses for JARC funds are funded
at 50% Federal and 50% Local. If all capital projects were approved, the City of Iowa City would
be responsible for roughly $4.6 million while the FTA would fund roughly $18.9 million.
Recommendation: It is my recommendation that we approve this resolution as is in order to
make the listed projects available for Federal Transit Administration funding.
